Make soft, buttery cinnamon roll bites fast. This recipe uses simple ingredients and no yeast, giving you poppable, gooey cinnamon treats perfect for a quick breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Do not separate the triangles. Press the seams together gently to form one large rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough rectangle.
  4. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam closed to seal the roll.
  5. Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal pieces, about 1 inch thick. Place the cut pieces, cut-side up, into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. While the bites bake, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately drizzle the warm glaze over the hot cinnamon roll bites.
  9. Let the bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving. These are best eaten warm.

Notes

  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream for the milk in the glaze.
  • For extra gooey centers, pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the rolls before baking.
  • You can use canned biscuit dough if crescent dough is unavailable; press the biscuits together before rolling.
